Final Fantasy VIII Seifer & Sorceress Edea Boss Battle Galbadia Garden (3rd Seifer, 2nd Edea Battle)

As you can see by the really long title, I managed to get a recording of the battle with Seifer and Sorceress Edea! The sorceress' knight steps up again, waiting for a beating. Seifer is weakened from the previous battle, so his HP is a little lower. Once again, mugging was the first order of business. Then I drew out some Haste in preparation for the battle with Sorceress Edea, which you battle right after Seifer falls without ever leaving the battle. Trying to keep party members alive after Death spells was the only real challenge. I managed to mug a Royal Crown from her, and while trying to mug it, drawing out the newest GF, the mighty holy god, Alexander! Once both were done, physical attacks to finish her off. I continued to record the chilling scene after which leaves Rinoa in a coma. Freaky scene, but not as much as you see it again in Ellone's flashback in Disc 3. Speaking of which, Disc 2 is done! Enjoy!

Since i barely have anything for my Junctions (such as Death, Sleep, etc.) This battle is really hard for me. Is there any of those in Galbadia before I fight Edea?

[blakstang98]

@TheLinktwin Unless you're really high leveled, I'm not sure you'll find Death spells. Sleep spells aren't too rare, so I'm sure some creatures have them. You can always beef up on Str and just pummel her into submission.

I've wondered What determines the amount of health the bosses have my old ass guide from 1998 says that Edea's lowest HP she can start with is 500-16,000 Kinda always wondered that >_>

[blakstang98]

@wizardlyTKO Her HP depends on her level, so if she's a Level 100 (or whatever her max level is), she'll have 16,000 HP. And her level is basically your party's average level. I guess thats how the game keeps up with your characters so you're never over or underleveled for battles.

Well all you have to do is junction sleep to squall's attack and once Seifer is down, use squall to attack Edea and she'll fall asleep. After that you pound her with everything you got!

this battle was longer then it needed to be

[blakstang98]

FYI, I'd junction the rest like so. Squall: Doomtrain, Tonberry. Zell: Alexander, Eden. Quistis: Cactuar, Bahamut. Tonberry has no effect on Junctions, so you can put him on whoever you want. But with this, I don't have to use many rare items to have the best abilities.

[blakstang98]

I have Squall with Shiva, Diablos, Leviathan and Pandemona. I have Zell with Ifrit, Siren and Carbuncle.  And I have Quistis with Quezacotl, Brothers and Cerberus. I just junction them so that I don't have to use many items later like Rosetta Stone, Aegis Amulets, Hyper Crowns and the like. There isn't a wrong way to junction them, I just prefer to not have to use a bunch of rare items.

[blakstang98]

I don't know what levels your characters are at, but I'd say it sounds like your Junctions aren't in order. At this point I have 100 Triples Junctioned to Str, so I'm hitting hard. I probably have something like Quakes or a few Ultima's for HP, which gives it considerable boost. Check out your Junctions and alter them up a bit, and you should be better after that.

think i must be going wrong somwhere my characters only have like 800 hp max and physical attack only about 100 so i rely on gf which take arround 1000 have i missed something out along the way?
